Welcome to the world of Surrealist/Magic Realist artist, Danielle Mailer. Part autobiographical, part mythological and spiritual, Mailer’s figures
combine threads of her consciousness in a joyful explosion of pattern
and color.
Mailer’s current body of work conjures up her extraordinary Latin-Jewish
heritage in all of its vibrancy and color. These paintings designate
the female as cat, as goddess, hidden away or center stage. All reflect
an intimate landscape: a woman’s landscape that promises a Surrealistic
weave, one which incorporates personal symbols and narratives dealing
with contemporary issues of womanhood, and in a larger scope, issues of
modern day society.
Danielle Mailer counts Matisse, Kahlo, Chagall, Nolde and Klimt among
her influences. She also credits her parents, Peruvian painter Adele
Morales, writer Norman Mailer, and her husband, jazz trombonist Peter
McEachern as powerful sources of inspiration.
